Here is everything you need to know about this movie, which explores the intricacies of time, space and new dimensions, including the character arch:
- The Dark Powers of Pishaach: Pishaach (portrayed by Sourabh Raaj Jain) is in charge of the world he made in a separate realm. He was born in the 1940s, just before independence, but by fusing the forces of science and the paranormal, he has escaped both death and time. Beginning as an Indian independence warrior, he becomes extremely powerful. His experiments are aimed at understanding life and death and ultimately defeating it. He acts in this realm in accordance with his strategy.
- The Dancing Creature: When Rambabu decided to ignore Pishaach and go back to the bush to pursue his own course, he gave the appearance of a dancing monster. Pishaach would create a variety of delusions to entice his victims back into his orbit each time they fell prey to him.
- Ram Babu's Background: The protagonist of BAIDA was a formidable fighter with exceptional physical prowess, and among other things, he or she might have taken part in strategic killings. In the past, Rambabu was a spy—or, more precisely, a target killer—for the government. It is possible that he can perceive or manage circumstances or skills that others would not be able to.
- The Guiding Light of Ahilma: Upon his return to the present, Ram Babu seeks further information from Ahilma, a villager renowned for her spirituality, meditation talents, and knowledge of paranormal subjects. Even though she cannot physically enter Pishaach's world, she is aware of the solutions that could lead to the collapse of Pishaach's dark dimensions. Ahilma claims that Pishaach is pursuing ultimate power and has already defeated time and death.
- Who Is Dr Shekhawat: Doctor Shekhawat is another important character who intervenes to save Ram Babu during the battle with Pishaach. He is the perfect balance of power and brains. He is a researcher who is an expert in parallel dimensions and ghosts. He explains to Ram Babu the potential in the antagonists' dimension, including how memory loss can be caused by electromagnetic waves, how to utilise copper as a barrier to protect against the waves, and how to make an energy ball to thwart Pishaach's powers.
It's important that BAIDA's dynamics are made public, even though the sci-fi thriller's end hinted at sequel.
